I recently had a Play crash report from my app doing a startActivity,
caused by the resolved activity in another app not being exported.
The crash was attributed to my app (of course). The device was running 4.1.1
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent {
act=android.intent.action.VIEW
dat=file:///mnt/sdcard/Download/<filename>.jpg typ=image/jpg
flg=0x80000 cmp=<app name removed> } from ProcessRecord{4192e9c8
20556:org.kman.AquaMail/u0a99} (pid=20556, uid=10099) not exported
from uid 10108

Note that this is not an ActivityNotFoundException (which everyone
knows to catch) but an "unchecked" SecurityException.
